25. I don't like this book
He did not hesitate to make such a troublesome practice of asking the lords one by one, and the purpose of Sixteen Nights was actually very simple. Whether it's selling some materials at a low price, or really sending troops to help, as long as Lily can make it clear that she is on Selica's side.
Judging from Lucy Fair's previous situation, although Lily is closed, it is definitely not a closed country, and these demons who are about to become spirits have a clear grasp of the things outside. Sixteen Nights naturally wouldn't mess up important things like Serica, but even so, Lucy Phil showed a somewhat unreasonable attitude in the face of lobbying.
did not refuse or agree, but gave a reply of "let me think for a while" after being silent for a long time. While this is understandable and the right thing to do for her, it also means ...... The team's trip was going to be delayed.
"That's it, anyway."
The next day, Sixteen Nights, who returned to her residence with Serika, told Wakaba, the only one in the team who could "communicate normally", but it was just ...... The other party also seemed a little absent-minded.
"She didn't refuse or agree, she just needed a little time to think about it."
"Uh-huh......"
"So we can't leave for the time being, we can only wait for her reply."
"Uh-huh......"
“…… Well, are you alright? Sixteen Nights stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Wakaba's eyes, but what he got was still a wave of ignorance.
There's no reason.,Every time I've discussed a problem with Wakaba along the way, she's more excited than herself.,Why do you always feel ...... these days? She seemed to be a little unmotivated, could it be because Lily had a cold and fever in this humid and gloomy climate? If that's the case......
"No, since there is no reply, let's wait a few days."
Ha...... Hah, yes and yes, but ...... Why is Wakaba's attitude subtly similar to Lucifer's...... It always feels like something important is going to happen.
"Also, do you have any time next?"
Wakaba, who didn't know what she was preparing, had already armed herself, from hats to boots, and carried a large bag that she had bought from nowhere. Though...... Although I don't want to judge a person's style casually, Sixteen Nights still feels ...... She is very much like a "warrior" who plans to go to "Comic Con" and the like.
Selica was spending her boring time reading the "comic strip" with Bellu, and Sixteen Nights naturally had nowhere to go, Wakaba, who saw through this, did not pause, and continued to greet, "I said before that the author of the novel is going to hold a signing party, do you remember?" ”
Mutter...... This guy, isn't it because of this that he doesn't have the heart to think about "national affairs"!? Well, it's a pill.
"Hmmm! Remember! Serika looked up from the book, "That's the author of this comic book, right?" ”
Don't say something that hits the author so badly with an innocent smile, the other party will cry......
"Yes, today's book signing will see the release of the first full edition of the new work, along with a limited edition of the dolls. Because one person can only buy one copy, so we naturally want to go to a little more people. Of course, I can provide the necessary currency. ”
Feed! Why would even a smart traveler like you fall into such an obvious trap for money!
"Huh? But Belle wants to stay here......"
"After the book signing, let's stop by and see the only restaurant here where the food is normal."
"Yay! Belle is going! ”
"What about the goddess? I heard that the first volume of the official version has a four-panel comic that gives away a small theater. ”
"Go!"
Good job, all the hooks...... Because if Serika is going to go, she will definitely not be able to stay here. Wakaba, this guy, if only she could use half of her fishing mind on "business......
However, now that Lucifer has not given an answer, it would be a good thing to go to a meaningless event to relax.
……
At Wakaba's urging, the group soon arrived on the outer edge of the signing area on the flying carpet. Of course, it's not that Sixteen Nights doesn't want to continue flying in, but ......
"It's blocked again......"
Sixteen Nights looked at the dense and colorful flying carpet in front of him and sighed. A mere signing meeting, but I didn't expect the believers who came with the same purpose as their own side were far beyond the imagination of Sixteen Nights. Counting the believers who gave up the flying carpet and chose to walk through the ground, this author of a third-rate Crystal Palace novel has at least gained more than a thousand readers......
This scene is a bit unbelievable, could it be that the author is actually a very powerful and well-known guy?
"So get ready a little faster." Wakaba, who has always been sensible, rarely lost her temper here, but it can be seen that she also cares very much about this signing meeting.
"To participate in such an event, you have to enter at least five hours in advance to grab first-hand information. We were a little late. ”
It's not too late, big sister! I almost didn't even bring my wig before you pushed it out, and now it's more than two hours before the signing starts, isn't it?
"That's it." Belle nodded in agreement, "When Belle used to go to grab the limited-edition cake, she always went to line up several hours in advance. ”
"Uh-huh!" Serica nodded her head as well, "Me too!" ”
Don't nod your head along with you idiot! It's not something that you can talk about as a goddess running to grab food from ordinary believers!
For Sixteen Nights, it's not that I can't understand the madness of the "fans", but ......
"Is this author really that famous?"
"That's right!" Wakaba's expression was unprecedentedly serious, "Actually, I took a moment to inquire about this author's situation. She is said to be a woman with a good figure. ”
…… No, even if you pause and look at yourself, you won't immediately become a fan.
"And in the only few book signings, her appearance is very mysterious, not to mention that her pen name adopts the name of the character Sheffield in the book, and every time she appears, she wears a mask and a hat, so that people can't see her appearance clearly."
"Hah...... But then what? ”
"What's the matter with your eyes that look like you're looking at a brain-dead fan?" Wakaba frowned, "I'm not too interested, I just want to know." ”
No, don't quibble on your side, obviously your eyes have already begun to look forward in a hurry......
It's just a mysterious author, and it's not a world famous book, and the content can only be used as a sleeping pill. Call...... Serika and Belu aside, I really don't know what kind of demon these believers and Wakaba have to be so crazy...... It's been blocked for so long, and there is not even a little traffic smoothness, so how many people have come to attend the signing party......
"Anyway, there will be a lucky draw at the same time as the book signing. It is said that fans who win the lottery will be given a few minutes of private communication with the author. ”
After a pause, Wakaba looked at Sixteen Nights a little "fiercely", "Sixteen Nights, you are not stupid, you should be able to ...... You know what I mean? ”
